lol,
it is true that tough talk doesnt work on all people, but it worked for me! i was ready to do what was needed to lose weight, and not wanting to offend or put anyone off, this diet does need a different mind set to do.
that said, I would never say to someone, do another diet, rather i'd prefer that they try to develop the mind set they need, as this diet rocks and will bring them greater success in a shorter time.
i am more than willing to personally help anyone get into this, as once they have, they will be much healthier (generally speaking!! we are all different!)
if anyone reading this does feel that they need a hard message with a soft touch, some of us are capable of both
so pm me.
this diet made me look at myself and my relationship to food, gaz made it sound easy and stupid to not stick to it totally, nictastic kicked my ass, cuddly fairy supported and encouraged me gently, and i needed all of them, from the hardest message to the softest touch.
so message to newbies, dont take anything personal, just take it all on board and think about it, and decide for yourselves what you need, and then you can always build a support group on here with the people that you find helpful.
no need to ask anyone for permission to mentor you - we all do that weather we realise it or not, just by default!
good luck everyone.
ps scaz and gaz, does this mean we can look forward to more posts from you guys? i for one have missed seeing your comments, good or bad
